had become a project staple. So had metal
studs, self-drilling screws, plasters with
lightweight aggregate additives, mechanical
pumps, spray guns, fireproofing, suspended
ceiling grid and acoustical ceiling tile. The
progressive distributor had to diversify and
carry these product categories.
By investing in more warehouses, equipment and inventories, 1970's distributors
boosted contractors' bottom lines. True,
contractors could stock their own materials,
turn their piles four times a year and pay 7
percent annually to carry them, Construction
Dimensions reported. But broadly assorted,
volume distributors did better-turning inventory 12 times a year and paying 2 percent
a year to maintain their stock.
A flatbed truck hauling bag goods could
no longer keep up. The industry's distributors
had to become building materials suppliers.
AWCI: ACTION

Technical Symposiums
iaWCC produced various technical symposiums in the early
1970s, including Performance of Portland Cement Plastering
(1970), Sprayed Fireproofing (1971), Exterior Curtain Walls (1971)
and Cavity Shaft Walls (1971). Sprayed Fireproofing-developed

of the iaWCC Technical Committee-was the industry's first-ever

than $20 million of sprayed fireproofing work in 1971 alone.

The 30-piece orchestra, five-man combo
and chorus of seven made it a resounding
experience.
Three months later, on Oct. 31, 1969,
a new "production" began at the same
hotel. The iaWCC's Continuing Study
Council gathered to study the association's
problems. William A. Duguid Jr. of Chicago
led the meeting. Duguid had pushed for
long-range planning back in 1963, and
now he was in charge of it. With Duguid
were six members of the Continuing Study
Council and iaWCC Managing Director
Joe M. Baker Jr. Duguid wanted to roll up
small problems right away so he could start
a long-range plan.
The fist point of discussion-two council
members' expired terms-drew no action.
